The article presents the Czech-Ukrainian relations in the field of art, including the 19th century music. In the history of research on Slavic culture in Galicia, a special place is held by the Pan- Slavic ethico-philosophical theory developed by Czech scholars and musicians, which dates back to the 1840s and was continued until the end of the 1870s. Its authors included the Czechs active inLviv and in other Galician cities: Karol Władysław Zapp (1812–1871), Vaclav Dunder (1811–1872), Ludwig Ritter von Rittersberg (1809–1858), Maks Konopásek (1820–1879). The main ideas of their works, written in Lviv, are presented herein from the perspective of the Ukrainian researcher Eugene Cehelski (1912–1980), whose doctoral thesis (Prague, 1936) focused on the“Lviv Pan-Slavism”. This work arose as a result of several factors stimulating its creation: devel- opment of musicology or folklore studies, both Polish and Ukrainian in Lviv; intensive Pan-Slavic relations of various provenance in Prague and Galicia; particularly favorable social conditions (i.a. interest in issues related to nationality in culture); inspirations due to a high level of humanities at the Charles University or to a wide thematic scope of research. The main research questions that Cehelski is trying to examine are: Galicia's musical culture in the context of multinational integra- tion ties; the influence of the Czech musicians who worked and stayed in Galicia on the develop- ment of the vocational education, of the musical performance and musical ideology or on the activity of amateur music societies; searching for common roots of Slavic cultures; discussion on the issues related to the Pan-Slavic movement in philosophy across Slavic community and its application to musical culture. Cehelski considered as the most important the fact that, due to the
romantic exaltation and interest in national roots, a greater understanding of the features held in common, characteristic of each of the Slavic nations, was possible.
